Photo? ------------------------------------------------------------ From: saperl@MIT.EDU Subject: Member Directory and Art Gallery I plan to finally get off my lazy ass this weekend and set up the Mailing List Member Directory. It would be great if each of you could email me a photo (any image format will do) of yourself. If you don't have access to a scanner, you can send me a real photo and I'll scan it. If you have a homepage with your photo on it, send me the URL and I'll steal the picture from there. The idea is that there will be a non-publicized Web page that has links to pages for each one of you that wants a page. Your page will include your photo, a link to your homepage, and whatever biographical information you want to share. This way, you have an idea of who's reading your email when you send it to the list. You'd have to try pretty hard to convince me that you aren't the least bit curious about what certain people on the list look like. You can visit the Member Directory (http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/list) at your leisure. My real mail address (for sending me pictures and cash donations) is there, as well as a form for submitting biographical info to me. The other thing for which I would like contributions (and this is not a list-specific thing; it's open to everyone) is the Soundgarden Art Gallery. So far, Dan Ladle and URB@NO have sent me some really cool Soundgarden-related artwork they've done. If you have something you want to share with the rest of the world, by all means send it. For all practical purposes, I have unlimited disk space, so send as much as you want. Get to it. seth (listadmin) ------------------------------ From: John Shaft Subject: Ben Shepard the hater Does anyone know anything obout Ben he seems to be the most elusive man in music????

Kinser" Subject: Need help with a Compilation CD Well all, with all the posts about people wanting to get hold of SOMMS and many other hard to find/ rarities by Soundgarden, I have compiled much of my collection and created a compilation tape containing 23 tracks of b-sides. My only problem is that I want to produce a nice J-card and liner notes but don't have the facilities to do it (except for my trusty typewriter). The computer I use is at work so I can't do it on that either. So, if anyone is willing to help me make this, they'll get a free copy of the tape(at the least). If anyone is interested in this tape, I'll post the track list and more info at a later date.

The orchestral backing is way OTT. I've only heard the straight version of "Nothing Else Matters" - I was thinking of the "Grunge Lite" CD and that horrifying version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

I think this list is a great way of spreading information about Soundgarden. Sure, I don't personally benefit from every single post, but I've learned a lot and have organized a few tape trades to get rare material I've not heard before. Don't stick around too long to revel in what you consider to be such "idiocy" because I'd rather not have to hear from someone with such a closed mind and such an eagerness to prejudge and ridicule.

Did you just use "dance" in the same sentence as "Smells Like Teen Spirit"? This must be some usage of the word "dance" which I'm not familiar with. If some record exec somewhere decided that they needed to remix SLiTS to capitalize on the teeny-bopper market, I'd just as soon not know. On the other hand, if it was done as some sort of wickedly ironic statement about the state of the alternative music scene, then I'm all for it.

No, it was done in all seriousness. In fact, I've heard statements from people who like that sort of techno (urgh!) "music" to the effect that Kurt Cobain shouldn't have written such a catchy riff if he didn't want a dance remix of it to emerge. Yeah, like it was his fault. I just hate to imagine what would happen if any dance "musician" got their hands on Mind Riot. Or Uncovered. Or Big Dumb Sex. It doesn't bear thinking about.

I don't know about anyone else, but receiving this digest before the day has ended is really toying with my mind. I can't seem to figure out what day it is...I feel like... well, enough of that. what is going on with the frustration level on this list? pissed off firefighters? people pissing on seth? fuck this, fuck that? perhaps some of us are too hostile or constipated to relax and enjoy the sg sounding board? what do I know? although this may be somewhat dated, I'd like to see codeine open for soundgarden. anything would be an improvement, because I've had to suffer through guns and roses wretched excess and deal with danzig's cock fascination just to get my fill of sg.(evidently I don't get out much because that was a couple of years ago...I also don't know if codeine still play.I'm losing my grip on reality here in philadelphia...
